Zach Reifschneider unveils his 2025-2026 Top 60 Dynasty Rookie Rankings for fantasy basketball, highlighting Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper as single-tier anchors and outlining a mix of sleepers and high-variance wild cards. The piece stresses upside vs. risk across nine tiers, notes Sorber’s ACL setback, and spotlights late-round bets like Hugo Gonzalez, Noah Penda, Kam Jones, and Drake Powell. It also flags cautious takes on Jeremiah Fears and Yang Hansen, urging buyers to weigh roster fit, age, and draft capital in dynasty leagues.

Beyond rankings, the article emphasizes context-driven decision making: patient holds, opportunistic buys, and how Summer League outputs could shift values. It presents a practical, no-nonsense framework for Dynasty managers to navigate this class while keeping an eye on minutes, role, and long-term upside.

Brooklyn reshapes its summer with a cap-space gambit: taking on Denver’s Michael Porter Jr., Atlanta’s Terance Mann, and Miami’s Haywood Highsmith in deals that haul multiple first-round picks and clear room for a late-summer roster tweak. Drake Powell was drafted with one of five June picks, a signal of long-term planning. With about $14.3 million in cap space and the 15-man limit looming after signings for Day’Ron Sharpe and Ziaire Williams, Brooklyn could absorb another contract-for-pick move, positioning Cam Thomas’ restricted-free-agent status to influence its perimeter future.

The Nets’ playbook centers on upside and flexibility: keep cap room to chase a late-add, push Thomas toward a favorable RFA outcome, and lean into a young core around the guard. The strategy hinges on how aggressively Marks maneuvers the remaining space and roster spots while navigating the evolving market for Thomas and the team’s long-string of draft picks.

Nets rookies hit the NBA 2K26 face-scan spotlight this summer as Brooklyn prepares for a 2025-26 season focused on development. The feature highlights Nolan Traore’s scan and notes the five-rookie class, with Michael Porter Jr. assigned an 82 rating while classmates sit in the 69–72 range, hinting at varying paths to real minutes and fantasy upside.

Egor Demin leads the rookie pack at 72, joined by Danny Wolf (71), Drake Powell (70), and Ben Saraf (69); Collin Murray-Boyles is also named among the top newcomers tied for the class’s upper tier. The piece emphasizes the gap between potential and actual NBA impact, where development, opportunity, and usage will drive fantasy value.
